Need Bootcamp 2.1 for Windows XP SP3

I installed SP3 on my windows partition and it boots up but the drivers will not install. So I found out I need boot camp 2.1 to use SP3. I need 2.1 to install 2.2, and I need snow leopard to install 3.0. How do I fix this? How can I find Boot Camp 2.1? NOT the 2.1 XP drivers, but the actual Boot Camp 2.1 software so that I can create the partition using 2.1.

I believe that there is just one version of that actual Bootcamp 2 and it is Boot Camp 2.0 that came with your Leopard disk. It includes the Boot Camp 2.0 Windows Drivers. As far as I can tell there is no such thing as Boot Camp 2.1 ro 2.2. Unfortunately, you will find people mixing the terms for Boot Camp and Boot Camp Windows Drivers. There are two updates available for the Boot Camp 2.0 Windows Drivers. You can find them at
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/bootcampwindowsx pdriversupdate21.html
and
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/bootcampdriversu pdate22forwindows.html
The 2.1 Update actually can be used as a install directly onto BootCamp without the Apple Drivers. The 2.2 Update must have the 2.1 Update already installed.
Boot Camp 3.0 is only for OSX 10 Snow Leopard. At least, that's what I've been told on this discussion group. In any case, you can only get it on a Snow Leopard install disk.
I just went through **** and Back installing Boot Camp 2 on my Mac Book Pro. See the thread in this discussion group at
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2292702&tstart=0
to give you some background on the problems that I was having and the entry I made yesterday to describe the workaround that I was able to find.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2299567&tstart=0
There are Video Adapter problems. Mine was with the Radeon X1600 driver. I don't know whether there are similar problems with other video drivers.
You have an additional problem that I didn't in that you have tried to install the Boot Camp 2.1 Driver Update onto a pre-existing Windows XP SP3. I can't help you with that directly, but I did see a very interesting website during my troubleshooting that I think may help you out at
http://www.macwindows.com/bootcamp.html
There is actually a tip there labeled
"Boot Camp 2.1 and Windows XP SP3
TIP: Fixing Win XP if you accidentally install SP3 before Boot Camp 2.1"
Good Luck. I hope you can solve your problems with less pain than I had to go through.

  • Does Firefox respect user account control rules for windows xp sp3, anything to do specifically to enable that ?

    <u>edit information copied from System Info troubleshooting: </u>
    More Information
    *1)Does Firefox latest version obey/confirm to the rules for user account control for windows xp sp3 ?
    * 2)Need I do anything specific at the time of installation and/or setting up/configuring preferences ?
    *3)Or do I need to install Firefox separately for the limited users or in each users account ?
    *4)Would it be possible/desirable/necessary to install it directly into some folder of the user other than the common program files folder ?
    *5)In any of these situations, should I or should I not make the installation with 'Run As' admin privilege.
    *6)If I install separately for the user/s, with/without admin privileges, will the install write to , or enable user activity to write to, the other common windows folders(where user write is otherwise disallowed).
    Please kindly clarify. I am waiting for an answer before I reinstall Firefox and a lot of other apps(these were done earlier before creating the user accounts. Please note that I do not mind installing separately for any/all users. But security will be my preference as much as possible(PARANOIA). I am having to deal with a couple of users who cant understand all this and the folks are too old to understand.
    Thanking you in anticipation

    A far as I recall from when I did use XP the procedure was to install Firefox using an Admin account, preferably the Administrator account.
    By doing that the Firefox installer would create Firefox within the programs directory. And each separate user account could then use Firefox. Importantly each user account has a Firefox profile and so have their own separate and individual bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache etc.
    IIRC UAC was not available for XP. Permissions and what you could do would also differ; I seem to remember; depending on whether it was using FAT or NTFS. In some setups a knowledgeable admin account user could probably fully access any other account.

  • HT1899 Hi There. Is there a version of BootCamp support software for Windows 8 Customer preview?

    Hi There. Is there a version of BootCamp support software for Windows 8 Customer preview as yet?

    8 is now Release Preview, not CP, and there is the final release 90-day trial Enterprise which is all cleaned up and ready to use.
    So at least someone should be going over with this by now. Things I had that did not work right and unsupported with the Previews are working, but some, a few, need updates.
    I don't think most of the issues people have with Mac running 8 are deal breakers or can't be worked around, maybe 2-3 items and heck even 'supported' - if it worked plug and play and no issues... the forum would be dead silent, but it isn't.
    Not going to do it again but I have tried to post a consolidated of trackpad, graphics, audio, BT, and other things that get mentioned.
    8 won't be ready to buy for full two months.

  • Needs to be configured for Windows... but it already is!

    I just bought a brand new 80GB iPod Classic today. I hooked it up to my laptop's USB port, and the first time it showed up in my iTunes directory. Unfortunately iTunes informed that my iPod was corrupted, so I restored it. This happened TWICE.
    The third time I hooked it up, the iPod didn't show up in the directory, but a pop-box appeared telling me that the iPod needed to be configured for Windows, and would I like to configure now? I clicked yes, and nothing happened. Once I checked the iPod, I saw that the Version was 1.0.2. PC.
    Any ideas how to get my iPod up and running? Thanks in advance.
    iTunes version: 7.4.3.1.
    iPod version: 1.0.2. PC

    You need to connect your phone to iTunes on your COMPUTER, not on your phone.

  • I get a message saying that my ipod needs to be formatted for windows

    I originally used my ipod on my pc, but now I want to use it on my laptop. I connected it to my laptop, and I got a message saying something like “your ipod needs to be formatted for windows, would you like itunes to reformat your ipod?” I don’t understand why it’s saying that I need to format it for windows when I have always been using it on windows. I use mediamonkey to transfer my files, and when I click on the ipod in mediamonkey, no songs show up. How can I get mediamonkey to recognize the songs on the ipod without reformatting my ipod (I don’t want to erase all the songs)?
    Thanks.

    Hmm..Here's a few options:
    ~Hopefully you can see your Ipod under My Computer.
    1. Enable the viewing of hidden files, then browse to (let's call it I:/ drive.)
    I:/YourIpod_Name/iPodControl/Music
    Copy the whole music folder to your desktop or somewhere safe. That folder contains all your songs, though they will have names such as HGB3.mp3.
    (Enable Hidden Files<Under Advanced View>: Control Panel>Appearance and Themes>Folder Options>View Tab>Show Hidden Files and Folders)
    ~If it doesn't appear under My Computer or if it does.
    2. Use a third-party software program to get the songs from your Ipod to a folder on your computer. This will get the songs from your Ipod with the correct artists and names. Not sure if posting links to third-party software is 'legal', but here it goes:
    http://download.cnet.com/iDump/3000-2169_4-10407429.html
    I use this one to keep a backup of my songs from time to time. It's best to keep the backup on an external drive just in-case you HD dies.
    If your still not able to get a backup of your songs, well that's all I have right now. Maybe you can wait for other replies, or just go ahead and format it(but you lose your songs).
    Now to restore:
    Let's see why it isn't appearing under iTunes.
    Open up iTunes with your ipod connected, ignore anything that may pop up. Click the tab called 'Help' and then 'Run Diagnostics...'. Check only the two last boxes:
    -Iphone/Ipod connectivity tests
    -Iphone/Ipod touch sync tests
    Hit next, again make sure your ipod is connected...next one more time.
    You should pass all tests for connectivity.
    Now sync, which you should fail.
    Apple wrote:
    This feature tests iPod and iPhone connectivity on a Windows PC running iTunes. Except for syncing, the diagnostic tests in iTunes do not test the hardware or software on the iPod/iPhone.
    If any problems occur under the connectivity tests, post here.
    If your up to losing your songs, your ipod is treated like a volume so right-click > format, should format it, deleting everything. When connected to iTunes, it should present the option to restore.
    ^I can say this, because I've done it, but I don't know if the outcome will be the same for you.

  • Need help allocating partition for Windows using Bootcamp?

    "...have tried all different sizes with no luck" tells us nothing about what size you tried. If indeed you tried all different sizes then you don't have enough space. What size did you try? What happens when you try? What error messages do you get?

    Hi there,
    I understand you're looking for drivers for your PSC 1210 on Windows 7. I will certainly do my best to guide you in this issue.
    At this time there are no HP drivers available for this printer for Windows 7. You can still use the printer with Windows 7, you will just have to use the drivers available within Windows 7. That document will walk you through what you need to do in order to get printing again, and will also show you how to scan with this Windows driver.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!!

  • Need Help with safari for Windows 8

    i am stuck with the need to have a pc due to a proprietary business software... I am a mac user and prefer to use safari... i just had to by a new pc and tried to download safari for windows 8.1 but cannot find it... any help out there?

    Apple hasn't supported Safari for Windows in quite a while (and even when they did, you wouldn't want it - total crap). IE 11 actually isn't bad, you can also try Chrome.

  • Bootcamp or Parallels for windows games?

    I only use Bootcamp generally to play windows games on my Mac. It is a pain to have to constantly reboot each time to play the game and then switch back to my Mac side and vice versa. I just learned about Parallels for mac. Is it worth it to change to this system to avoid the rebooting? Basically the most important concern: Will the games run as well using Parallels as they do on the Bootcamp only version?
    Thanx for any help?

    Hi,
    Parallels (and VMWare Fusion, too) have only support for DirectX 8.1 with experimental (limited) support for DirectX 9.
    Since almost all newer games rely on at least DX9 and DX10, if the hardware supports it, these games simply won't run in Parallels/Fusion.
    Nonetheless Parallels/Fusion are great applications for running Windows alongside OSX, but they are not very suitable for gaming in Windows.

  • Itunes says Ipod needs to be formatted for windows

    I originally loaded my ipod on a windows XP machine. That machine recognizes my ipod, but won't let me write to it. I moved it to another machine and it says that I need to format the ipod for windows. Won't that erase the music on my ipod? Is there any other way to make my pod visible to itunes without formatting it?

  • Satellite L655-19H - Need graphic card driver for Windows 8

    Hello!
    I have a problem with VGA drivers on my L655-19H in Windows 8. Last drivers on Toshiba site only for windows 7 and don't work with my W8.
    I instal drivers manually, but some games tell me "bad video card drivers". Microsoft drivers dont work too.
    Sry for my english.

    As Silas wrote, the Win 8 system isnt supported for this notebook model.
    I found on Toshiba page an Win 8 supported model matrix and this series isnt listed.
    This means that Win 8 drivers will not be available.
    If you need Win 8 graphic drivers, you will need to search at your own hand on some 3rd party websites like omegadrivers.net or similar.
    As Im not mistaken the notebook uses the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 graphic chip.

  • Bootcamp or Parallels for Windows 7

    I would like to know, which option is better for installing Windows 7 on iMac ( 500 GB, 4 GB RAM)
    1. Bootcamp
    2. Parallels
    Is there any difference in performance, when Windows 7 is running in both the environments. Mostly I would be using Windows 7 for connecting to my office workstation, surfing Internet and occasionally playing online games. What would be the recommended disk space for bootcamp to install Wondows 7.
    Do Apple provide support for Windows hardware drivers?

    Open Boot Camp Assistant in your Utilities folder and click on the large Print Documentation button. Read it carefully.
    You can find out about Parallels at their website.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.
